godaddy email not working, changed mx settings with WP suggestion still not work

please help, I am new to this…
I have a wordpress blog / site but registered domain with go daddy and email with go daddy,
the site is working ok after I sorted the mapping direction pointers

I have used the WP page to add to my DNS for godaddy email setup using WP instructions, but it is still not working and I cannot work out what I have done wrong. it has been 3 days since I made the change so if it was going to work I should be working by now.

thankyou I have used your information and changed the DNS settings I had entered with the advise from wordpress re godaddy. and have instead entered what godaddy says to enter for DNS in the wordpress settings.

fingers crossed it works this time, if it does it was way off what wordpress suggested I enter which is disappointing ( that their information was wring I mean)

im still confused and not sure if it is correct, and I have to wait up to 48 hours to know if it is correct or not…

would really appreciate It if someone could tell me if what I have entered is correct or not and if not if they could change it for me to what it should be.

Good point Thankyou for bringing that to my attention, silly me.
The current DNS settings I have entered into my wordpress settings from recommendations of godaddy are :
0 smtp.asia.secureserver.net
10 mailstore1.asia.secureserver.net

I have not worked with godaddy email in a while – and the support documents could use a bit of fine tuning –

but I don’t think that putting a full email address in the MX records is correct – otherwise the MX records would need to be updated for each email address – my email is not at Godaddy but I have one MX record and I think 5 email accounts –

I am not on Godaddy – but the two records below are what the records looked like to get me email working – part of your issue is the format of the MX records – note – My mail server is on a fixed IP address (not a lot of servers are today)

MX 10 mail.my-site.com.
A mail 255.255.255.255

NOTE TO STAFF: there used to be a generic page on changing DNS records that had some sample DNS (CNAME, A, MX etc.) records in the proper format – it was always a bit tough to work with – but would have been helpful in this case – maybe bring the old sample back – thanks

If you are trying to use those CNAMES and they are incorrect that could be what is causing you issues. Also, the GoDaddy rep should be able to do a lookup using one of their tools to see if your records are testing OK within their system, and if not which ones need to be corrected.

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou everyone, just so grateful for your help, this had been doing my head in.
I have just made your suggested changes to the CNAME so fingers crossed it is working soon.
Thanks again!
